I’ve not seen any examples of this, but given the way the UK treats people who don’t have the correct visas, I wouldn’t bank on an EU country cutting you too much slack.
I've seen a few people caught in Sweden and Denmark (and trying to transit through other countries to circumvent the legislation). Some are those who actually did have the right to remain, but thanks to a big dose of stupidity, they didn't fill in the very simple forms. So, yeah. Penalties so far, that i'm aware of, vary from a slap on the wrist and being sent home (at their own expense) up to a 3 year ban and a €1200 fine, that was someone trying to sneak in via a ferry from UK to HoH after already being sent back from Kastrup once.
One of them even got themselves banned from the facebook page they were whining about it on, because they wouldn't stop whining about how unfair it all was. I wouldn't be that surprised if they voted leave either.
Glad we're rid of all that EU red tape, and can now do whatever we want. Freedom. Control. Whatever...
Indeed... Current plan is to apply for long stay tourist visa in France and Italy and use up the rest of the 90 days in the other countries. It might end up that we apply for a long stay visa in Spain too...

TBH this is stuff that could have been handled better than the run for the door,EU citizens get 180 days when visiting the U.K. and as long as re-enter it isn’t being used to live in the U.K. re-enter again to finish their year van life trip around the U.K. 🙂

Of course it good. But you know who we chose to do the handling... that's on us.
According to the EU authorities you’d have had 4 months in France/EU, how would you prove otherwise as there there are no checks on the way into Andorra<br /><br />
You’d stop and ask the Andorran / French/ Spanish border staff to stamp your passport as leaving Schengen?
My understanding is that as long as you have the funds (equivalent to the minimum wage in France for the length of time you wish to stay), its fine. I expect reality won't be Quite that simple, but here is hoping!
Just checked, and yes, it was a raging brexiter who got the three year ban, he's now back in the UK, whining about all the unfairness and trying to get a "reunification via family ties".
His ex wife and adult kids (plus grandkids) live in and around the west coast of Sweden. His business is also registered in Göteborg.
He's not having much luck from what i can see. Can't imagine being fined and deported has done him any favours.
There's no doubt a way of spending more time in Andorra without breaking any rules, nealc, because that's in the agreement, people can stay in Andorra with Andorra's agreement as long as Andorra wants, but it's not as easy as driving over the border. Brits there aren't avoiding Brexit because Brexit hits as soon as they want to enter or transit via the EU. It's like all EU countries, you can stay as long as a country wants you with the relevant papers but as a tourist you only get 90 days or longer with a Visa depending on the country.
